OpenBSD 4.1 Released

Posted by kdawson on from the hot-bits dept.

adstro writes to quote from the BSD mailing list: "We are pleased to announce the official release of OpenBSD 4.1. This is our 21st release on CD-ROM (and 22nd via FTP). We remain proud of OpenBSD's record of ten years with only two remote holes in the default install. As in our previous releases, 4.1 provides significant improvements, including new features, in nearly all areas of the system."

    >I can't believe OpenBSD is still refusing to provide Official ISOs. Me neither, which is why they have no users. If you want to have to pay for an operating system before you even try it then you might as well run Windows. I tried once downloading the files via FTP was poorly documented (at least then), I got stuck with the editing the cylinder limit things and then I gave up and installed Linux.

    Because OpenBSD is elitist and you must pass this test to prove yourself "worthy" to use it.

    If anyone thinks I'm trolling, they've never read the OpenBSD devl mailing list ...

    However, I'm very unlikely to upgrade to any new version; why change something that works perfectly?

    nice troll. to add support for more platforms, new devices, new tools (hoststated niceness), bufixes, etc. are you the only OpenBSD user? do you expect progress to stop just because you're happy with the current state of things?

    +5, Interesting my foot and other foot. good job, mods.
